Witch - [3.23 Update] Physical Animate Weapon build | Annihilate Uber Bosses - Forum

" reinero wrote: I am very interested in making a build precisely for this ranged variant, - it will be my first attempt with AW - in case what would be the recommendations for the support gems? Early on: Minion Damage, Added Chaos Damage, Withering Touch, Volley and Pierce for Mapping Minion Damage, Predator, Withering Touch, Chance to poison and Void Manipulation for Bossing After acquiring Severed in Sleep and Dendrobate: Minion Damage, Critical Strikes, Critical Damage, Volley and Pierce for Mapping Minion Damage, Predator, Faster Attacks, Increased Critical Damage and Void Manipulation for Bossing " reinero wrote: If you don't mind me asking, do you think a Scion variant using Occultist and Guardian is viable even with less DPS? Sounds outright bad, imo. Assuming Necromancer, Guardian & Occultist (forbidden gems) and Sniper's Mark, we're looking at worse dmg (~21%) and a harder league start for a small amount of player survivability? I would ofc be interested in receiving feedback if you try out the build but I wouldn't recommend it, tbh.

It's ~10% more Damage and I don't know any better alternative early on.	Posted by Corak_de on Dec 4, 2023, 12:32:36 AM Quote this Post

Disregard what I said, Lioneye's vision is even better because it gives a lot of extra armour (~8k), slighty better damage at the cost of elemental resistances and higher dexterity requirements. This also slighty changes them gem setup (Added Chaos Damage/Inc. Critical Strikes instead of Faster Attacks/Pierce).	Posted by Corak_de on Dec 4, 2023, 5:08:46 AM Quote this Post

Thanks for your feedback, I'm still working out which one to start with because I want to try SSF. As soon as I've tested it I'll come back and give you an answer, thanks again.

hello, i was looking on your pob for the chaos, is it easy to use it as the ranged weapons instead? also has anyone thought about the animate weapon that copies your main hand weapon	Posted by BearODactyl88 on Dec 7, 2023, 8:16:59 PM Quote this Post

If you wanna save yourself the trouble of changing the melee PoB you can checkout the ranged Chaos AW build in my new video. https://youtu.be/T00FagDfdy8 " BearODactyl88 wrote: also has anyone thought about the animate weapon that copies your main hand weapon Energy blade and Winds of Fate could be interesting here but I didn't really have the time to investigate those ideas so far.
